Coleman can really cross a ball

Sadly what happens when you don't play any creative players in the line up. Would help if Coleman could cross a ball as well.

Coleman just smash across it ffs.

Wow, Seamus is a great player.

Coleman is probably my favourite player this season but god am I tired of his crappy floaty crosses!

He is yes, crossing aside.

I know Coleman works hard for the team and is a leader but my lord he is Dreadful at crossing, just dreadful

He wasted a couple of chances to cross. All these weak cross why?


There is a free agent I know who is available lads.

They got into the game because they figured pressing us would cause us to go long and Lukaku wouldn't keep it to relieve the pressure. Last 15 minutes it has worked
 

The good: Baines, Mori, Lukaku, Barkley, Davies and Mirallas
The hit or miss: Gueye, Joel, Williams and Coleman
The invisible: Aaron Lennon (forgot he was starting for a while)
KM greedy on that shot when Lukaku was unmarked!
So that's not good also we started without a left winger CL looked good along side Lakaku the KM replaces him on the left wing been better than Lennon , but that's not hard is it?
Why start with two up top the reverse it via injury Km can play alongside Lukaku can't he ??
 
Soton like half the league have got the 4 defenders and 5 midfielders occupying their defensive 30 yards whenever we have it. Makes them solid and zero space for us hence the side to side. Not a criticism of them, it works, but makes for a very dreary game when we don't have a player who has that magic in boots to find a yard that isn't there.
 

after that scrappy opening (due to injuries) it was decent for 20 minutes. We moved it nicely and Barkley was running it.

As usual though, one chance (the disallowed goal) for them on the counter and we fall apart and drop off a bit - basically take the foot off the pedal for the last 15 minutes of the half and are lucky that Rodriguez didn't hit the target.

Robles and Mori predictably dodgy. Coleman getting forward well but his crossing is awful.
